Production of photovoltaic cells and modules for solar-energy systems used by SolarCity will begin in 2017 at SolarCity’s factory in Buffalo, New York. Musk, who is Tesla’s chief executive officer and chairman and chief financier of SolarCity, has proposed combining the two companies to give consumers one-stop shopping for an electric car as well as the solar-powered electricity that will power it.

California company SolarReserve plans to build the largest solar power plant in the world on a 25 square-mile plot in the Nevada Desert. The 10-tower concentrated solar array known as “Sandstone Energy X” will produce enough electricity to power around 1 million homes, producing between 1,500 and 2,000 megawatts of electricity, comparable to a nuclear power plant or the Hoover Dam. The project is designed to store heat without backup fuels or batteries to deliver electricity even in darkness, with zero emissions, little water use and no hazardous waste.
